Quantum entanglement, a phenomenon studied by Einstein, Podolsky, and Rosen in 1935, challenges our classical understanding ...

Quantum superposition is a phenomenon in which a tiny particle can be in two states at the same time — but only if it is not being directly observed.

Thus today we have silicon photonics with valuable applications in data centres and sensors as well as potential ones in quantum computing ... in a silicon atom, an electron in a higher energy ...

Quantum dots are crystals of a fluorescent semiconductor material with a diameter of as few as 10 to 100 atoms (2-10 nm). They are used as labels for imaging molecules because of their very narrow ...
